PTI Release in Review...

Have you been loving this release so far? As a customer, the 15th of the month was such a fun day and I am so excited to get to share it with you. 3 months in and I am still pinching myself! Here are a few cards using the latest June release....

\

This card uses a sentiment from Keep it Simple: Weddings. I stamped the sentiment onto a banner from the First Place Dies and then heat embossed it with white Filigree powder. I stapled it onto a white, woodgrain card stock that I die cut with the Might Bloom Cover plate. I layered it all on to a kraft card base to finish it off. I love this rustic sort of wedding feel.

This next card was so fun to make...

I used the negative of the stripes over plate to make the base of this card, just gluing down the stripes. Then I added in some of these gorgeous Friendly Flowers and a sentiment from Thank you Kindly. I love love love these flowers. Did I say love? I do.

The Topiary Trio is another favorite new set. I love those trees and the double stamping. That detail is so fun! And the dies are perfect!

I made the back panel from the Phrase Play #5 die, just snipping out the "happy". I added a topiary up on foam tape and then added in a sentiment from Thank you kindly.

This next card was fun to make. When I saw the flower centers in Friendly Flower, I instantly thought fireworks! (As did Dawn!) :)

I stamped one in Pure Poppy, one in Enchanted Evening and one in Delicata Gold. I stamped the sentiments on 2 strips of paper and popped them up on foam tape. The sentient is from Monthly Moments: July. LOVE these monthly sets. I am telling you the scrapbooking bug has bit. Stay tuned. :)

For my last card, I tried something that I have only tried one other time. I am not a colorer. I know I have said that that many times. I want to be. But I just can't get the hang of it. Ask me to color a sold image....I'm your girl! :) BUT, when I saw this cat, I knew I had to try again. Practice makes....well....practice helps. Ha! So here is my attempt at the no line stamping/coloring whatever it is called technique....

I stamped the cat on the die cut in Tuxedo Black Memento after stamping off about 4 times. The line was very light. Then I just went back in with 3 different brown copics and blended and shaded and blended and tried to shade some more. I had to stop before I blended a hole in the paper but for my second attempt, I thought it turned out ok. I stamped the bowl shadow on the ground, from Bowl of Sunshine and popped the cat up on foam tape. I added in a sentiment and then cut out the ball of yard die I stamped off here again several times and then stamped the image on the white paper. I went in first with a dark copic and traced the lines of the stamp. Then I went back in with another, lighter red and colored over the whole thing, leaving no white paper showing. It gave the lines a softer, yarn look. This set is just too cute! My daughter has now made 7.5 cards with this set since it came in the mail! :)

Stop by the rest of the DT to see what they have to share! And happy shopping! Thanks for coming by!

Whoa, you already have MM: July?! Seriously?! And it has a 4th of July stamp in it?! ::hopping around happy:: Oh.Em.Gee!!!! I love that card, by the way. I love all of them, but patriotic just makes me all giddy.
